TV sensation Ollie Chiles and Kara always have each other’s backs. But when his wife goes viral in a compromising clinch with another man, Ollie must choose between supporting his best friend in her hour of need or going home to save his marriage.
Alice Brookes is flying away to a new life after surviving a horrendous marriage and a very public scandal... until a stranger brings a letter from the past that could change everything.
After saying goodbye to someone he loves, Zac Conlan should be heading back to Dublin. Now a shocking discovery is threatening to change his plans and his future.
When weather delays their flights, Kara, Ollie, Alice and Zac discover that storms are brewing… and the turbulence is about to shake their worlds. (Synopsis courtesy of Goodreads.)
I’ve read another book by this author, One Day with You (reviewed here), and I remember what really drew me to the experience was the interconnectivity of the characters within. That same concept is at play in One Day and Forever, with Kara, Ollie, Alice and Zac eventually coming together in the most unexpected of ways.
Kara really doesn’t want to go to Hawaii for her sister’s wedding. It was meant to be a double wedding, with her own fiancé in tow, but given recent events, nearly everything in her life has changed. The only constant is her best friend, Ollie, who is obviously going through his own ordeal and isn’t sure if he should continue to be Kara’s constant at the risk of potentially damaging his marriage.
Alice doesn’t realize that attending a former friend’s funeral could mean even more heartbreak. There appears to be a lot that has happened in the last several decades, possible indiscretions that involve her ex, and she isn’t sure how to handle that or how to rectify the past. Zac has never met Alice before and never realized just how much he might come to rely on the kindness of strangers, solving mysteries he himself has just come to recognize.
The airport was the perfect backdrop for much of the book, the spider web middle that lends a hand in answering the burning questions that plague the characters. I think my favorite explanation was represented by Zac and Kara, two contrasting ships in the night who consistently keep missing what they are ultimately looking for. I think it really helped to deepen the missed opportunity experience. Sometimes it boils down to mere seconds that can change the course of someone’s life, and ultimately, you might still never know what you’ll get until it’s there, staring you in the face. I really enjoyed One Day and Forever, another five-star experience from me, for this author!
